Also known as "impotence", erectile dysfunction is a man's inability to achieve an erection in order to perform sexual intercourse. The term "erectile dysfunction" refers specifically to the erection whereas "impotence" is also used quite often to refer to other problems associated with sexual intercourse and reproduction such as a lack of sexual desire or problems with ejaculation.

The Penis and Erections

An erection is achieved when muscles, blood vessels, nerves and hormones all work together. When the brain senses sexual stimulation or arousal, it sends nerve signals to the penis. Arousal can be caused in various ways such as through touching, visual or auditory stimulation, or a fantasy or dream. These nerve signals cause muscle relaxation in the penis and as a result, blood is allowed to flow and collect in the spongy tissue. This causes the penis to inflate as it grows larger and firmer. Blood is prevented from flowing out by veins which close themselves off.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction has various causes most commonly physical causes in older men such as disease, injury or a side-effect of drugs. Any injury to the nerves or blood flow in the penis could potentially cause ED.
Most men will never experience erectile dysfunction. It is not inevitable as a man grows older. However, 5% of 40 year-old men do suffer with ED, as do between 15% and 25% of 65 year-olds.

Treatment

Nowadays there are many ways to treat erectile dysfunction. More sufferers seek treatment as awareness grows that the condition is treatable at any age. Successful, improved treatment of ED allows many men to return to normal sexual activity.

Examples of how to treat erectile dysfunction include counseling (the cause can be psychological), medications, devices such as a vacuum or implanted device and where the condition is caused by damage to veins or arteries, surgery is another option. Research into treating erectile dysfunction is extensive and ever-increasing. As always, patients should consult their clinician about the latest and most suitable treatments.

Statistics

The term "erectile dysfunction" is used to covers a range of severity from a complete inability to achieve an erection, to an inconsistent ability, or the inability to sustain an erection for a long enough period to perform sexually. Due to this broad range, it is difficult to measure and estimate the level and severity of incidence.
Between 15 and 30 million American men are estimated to suffer from erectile dysfunction. This figure varies according to how the condition is defined. The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) claims that in 1985, for every 1000 men in the US, 7.7 visits to physicians were due to erectile dysfunction. In 1999, this rate had tripled to 22.3 visits.

This increase is more likely due to more men being comfortable discussing their problem. As more treatments have become available, the subject of erectile dysfunction is no longer as taboo as it once was.
The biggest recent advance in treatment for erectile dysfunction was the highly-publicized March 1998 introduction to the market of the oral drug popularly known as Viagra. NAMCS estimate that Viagra was mentioned in 2.6 million visits to physicians in the United States in 1999, one third of which occurred when conditions other than ED were diagnosed. Nowadays, Sildenafil citrate is readily available. Online Viagra is particularly popular as it can avoid embarrassment purchasing the drug this way. Millions of email inboxes worldwide are filled with advertisements for online Viagra every day.

In modern world depression is something as common as having a headache or a hangover after a rough night out, but only few people realize how serious this problem really is. Try to find a person who has never shown signs of depression and you will realize that it's almost impossible. Almost, but not definitely. Recent studies have shown that there is a group of people in the modern world who don't even know what depression is all about. And surprisingly, these people are generally very poor and far from what most people would consider as good wellbeing.

While this statement will seem ridiculous to most of us, this is true and can be proven even using simple logics. You won't see a poor man or woman worrying about their lost success, or craving for a new car they want to get so bad. The only thing they worry about is getting food and having a place to spend a cold night. These people are free from aspirations and stresses most middle and upper class individuals have to deal with. If put simple, poor people are in a dream-like state of full mental harmony with their physiological needs. They aren't troubled by their spiritual or emotional desires, they aren't troubled by things others might think or say about them. Of course, living below the line of poverty has its stresses and burdens but they are always stripped down to simple bodily needs. No psychological worries, no stress, no depression.

In contrast, you will find the majority of extremely rich and upper class individual taking Xanax, Prozac or Valium to calm down and get them through. Having much money or being in the spotlight has its price tag, which usually comes in the form of certain limits, responsibilities and things to worry about. People from middle and upper classes pay too much attention to they way others see them and this alone is a rich source of mental stress. And what happens when something goes slightly wrong? A homeless individual won't bother if his or her new Bentley gets stolen, because they don't have it. A rich mogul will hire dozens of professionals to protect his private house and spend hours (and tons of valium)on worrying about the latest news from stock exchange. And isn't it ironic that in such a situation the poor are actually richer than the rich, if you know from what point of view to look?

A tweak for Windows 7 has been circulating on the Internet. He is labeled Windows 7 "God Mode." But unlike "God Mode" in a game, this one was nothing like 'God. "

Tweak is enabled by creating a new folder and name it with a specific string suffix. String is (ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C). So why name GodMode? You see, when I first supply string name is GodMode. (ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C).

Indeed, writing in front of the circuit GodMode. (ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C) can be replaced with any name. Folder icon that you see after changing the name of that folder will appear as the Control Panel.

How does it work? Well, if you like fiddling with Windows, you must be familiar with the (ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C) as a GUID. Now you do the above ditto with dismantling a developer features.

First, you've got undocumented features of the shell where the filesystem folders can easily be made a part ruangnama, as described on MSDN. Basically, any folder named. will appear in the visible part of the Explorer, and navigate to the folder that will make you go to the root of which is determined by ruangnama part of the name. This is of course not a user feature, but the developer features.

The second thing you find is the folder "All Tasks." This is a special shell folder that is used as a source of search results "Control Panel" which appear in the Start menu. This folder is not designed to be viewed directly look like the normal Control Panel folder (can be accessed from the Start, Control Panel), which contains items similar to a custom view that is designed to be easy to navigate. All Tasks folder does not have a custom view, so you will only see a list of standard Explorer.

Surely God Mode does not explain new things other than whatever you've been seen in the Control Panel. The difference is appearance.

However, playing with it should be done. This trick also applies to Windows Vista. Just to be remembered, though can be done in Windows 7 version 32 bit and 64 bit, you do not not advisable to do so in Windows Vista 64 bit because it will cause the crash. Fortunately already available 'antidote' in http://www.windowsvalley.com/blog/create-a-master-control-panel-shortcut-and-explore-the-all-tasks/.

One that also need to be aware, this action is not supported by Microsoft.
